I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Gilles de Rais was mad, ever since the death of his saint, Joan of Arc, the love to whom he devoted all his affection.

He cursed the gods, he studied black magic, he became "Bluebeard", and he sacrificed children all in order to resurrect and rescue his saint.

This madness did not change until he was promoted to the Hall of Heroes after his death and became a Heroic Spirit. Now, the "saint" he is obsessed with has been resurrected. Although he is still blinded by the "god", he will not give up. He will definitely rescue his saint.

Even though he was blocked by "God's lackey" Assassin and the annoying Lancer, he never thought of giving up.

Not once, not twice.

Not twice, not three times.

One day, he will rescue his saint, and the two will live happily together.

Tonight, he once again launched his "rescue" operation.

The opportunity that prompted him to take action was an accidental surveillance. Since the last time he was unprepared and Assassin found the workshop and broke into it with violence, he has often used "clairvoyance" magic to monitor the situation in the city to avoid being approached by other servants without him knowing anything about it.

In the evening, he activated his "clairvoyance" as usual, and accidentally captured the carefree and unabashed figure of Rider.

After staring at Rider for a while, Caster was surprised to find that Assassin and Rider had collided, and Archer soon appeared. The three servants were walking, chatting, and studying modern means of transportation like three modern people.

Although Caster couldn't understand the behavior of the three people, he knew that the three people would not cause trouble for him for the time being. Berserker and his Master were focused on destroying the monsters he left in the underground waterway, so there was no need to worry.

Caster has figured out the details of the remaining Lancer. Even if he gets in the way again, Caster won't be afraid.

Just in case, it's better to prepare more "soldiers" and attack from the opposite direction to the day before yesterday.

Tonight, Gilles de Rais must rescue Joan of Arc.

If Caster had waited half an hour longer for the three servants to race towards the Einzbern Forest, he would have given up the idea - but unfortunately there was no if.

"me?"

After being called by Rider, Scathach looked up at the night sky. Her eyes were not focused on a certain part of the starry sky, but looked farther away, as if she wanted to see the outside of the world outside the realm through the sky, which made her depressed. The magnetic sounds became ethereal.

"Do you want to ask the king's way? Or wish?"

"desire!"

"The royal way!"

Two voices sounded almost at the same time, the former was Rider and the latter was Saber. The different choices showed the different personalities of the two.

Scathach looked at Rider, then at Saber, and chuckled.

"Let's start with Saber's question. After all, she and I are both from Celtic."

"Before I explain my royal ways, I want to say one thing first. My 'Kingdom of Shadows' is different from any other human country. What I govern is not the living, but the dead. Is that okay?"

"Of course, it would be better to say that this arouses my curiosity more." Rider smiled and raised his glass to Scathach. Although Saber did not have it, she had the same attitude.

Scathach took a sip of wine in response: "My kingly rule is very simple, that is, 'order' and 'power'. 'Order' is the rules set by heaven and earth, the world, and the planet, and 'power' is' order' and the safeguard of what lies beyond 'order'."

"Life and death are separated. The living should not enter the world of the dead, and the dead cannot enter the world of the living. This is the rule set by the world. The 'Land of Shadows' once had a name called 'Eternal Spring Land' (Tírnanóg)." The origin of the word 'Evil Land'. One of the first responsibilities I was given was to guide the souls of the war dead and those who died on the journey to the 'Land of Eternal Spring'."

"However, you all know that in the era when mythology has not faded, the boundaries between life and death are not so clear. Things like the living disturbing the peace of the dead, and the dead disturbing the lives of the living often happen. Archer, you He must also have the experience of going to the land of the dead.”

Archer said "hmm" as an answer, and Rider also showed a "sure" expression. It seemed that the information revealed by Scathach confirmed his idea. The only ones who were confused were Saber, Irisviel and Waver.

"So, I use my power to separate the living and the dead. The dead who intend to enter the kingdom of the living are captured or completely destroyed, and the living who enter the kingdom of the dead are expelled or become one of the dead. Over time, 'Eternal Spring' The name of Earth was gradually replaced by the Kingdom of Shadows, and I became the queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, dominating the Kingdom of the Dead with my power."

"But for the brave men who are ready to wake up and take entering the kingdom of the dead as a challenge, I will give them a chance. After all, at that time, the 'demon realm' was still a part of the real world, and those real brave men also showed corresponding " strength'."

"This is my 'king' - rather than saying I am a king, perhaps the title 'gatekeeper' is more suitable for me."

From beginning to end, Scathach was very calm, like a pool of stagnant water. She fully understood her responsibilities and carried them out to this day. No matter what others said, she would not waver.

"It's such a boring experience." Archer rarely spoke with a sigh to avoid ridicule.

"Unwaveringly follow your own path. You and Archer are both outstanding kings."

"Thank you for everything you do for order."

Rider and Saber both spoke highly of Scathach, and the former added another sentence.

"What about the wish? Is it related to your 'kingly way'?"

"No, there is no connection." Scathach sighed, "Rider, my wish and your wish are essentially the same. You hope to live in this world as a human being. And I hope to live as a human being." Identity dies.”

Regarding this wish, the three kings all expressed obvious shock.

"As I said, I use my power to separate life and death and seal the Kingdom of Shadows. This process is not smooth sailing. Many living people are unwilling to accept such a result. They may be out of emotion or for other purposes. , want to take away the soul of the dead, and many of the dead are unwilling to accept the fact that they are dead and want to return to the world of the living. Among them are gods, mythical beasts, warcraft, fantasy species, demons, resentful spirits, etc., who have powerful powers. The presence."

"I confronted them, fought, and killed them. My body soaked in the enemy's blood became eternity. It was neither the living nor the dead, neither gods nor humans. It did not age, and it lost the concept of death. .”

"I can no longer die, whether it's a beautiful death or an ugly death. But I still clearly remember that I was born as a human being, so I long to die as a human being."

"If the Holy Grail is truly omnipotent, I hope it can bring someone who can kill me to me."

Where is the person who can kill me?

The answer to this question has been sought by Scathach for thousands of years.
